Setting The Controller, cont.
Advanced Customer Settings
Your appliance can be programmed for High Capacity (HC) or High
Efficiency (HE). High Capacity means the appliance will regenerate
less often, but use more salt. High Efficiency will make the appliance
regenerate more often and use less salt. See Specifications, Page 19.
1. Hold down “SET” and “CHANGE” for 3 seconds to enter ad-
vanced customer settings mode. While SET and CHANGE are
being held down, the display should show only the controller type.
After the 3 seconds, the entire screen is lit for a half second, and
then “HC” will appear.
2. Pressing and releasing the CHANGE button will toggle the digit
display between “HC” and “HE”. Pressing and releasing the SET
button will advance programming to the next step. Default is “HC”.
3. The controller will now display “Demand Mode.” Each press of
the CHANGE button will switch between “Demand Mode” and
“Delayed Mode”.
Delayed Mode allows regeneration at a specific time (e.g. at 2 am
when less water is being used.)
Demand Mode triggers a regeneration as soon as softening capacity
is exhausted.
Pressing and releasing the SET button will advance programming to
the next step. Default is “Demand Mode”.
4. “96 Hours” is now displayed. Pressing and releasing the CHANGE
button will toggle this on and off.
If “96 Hours” is selected, the appliance will work no more than 4
days without a regeneration. The “96 Hours” selection is required in
Europe. Note: If there is iron in your water, select this option.
Pressing and releasing the SET button will advance programming to
the next step. Default is for “96 Hours” to be ON.
5. “Gallons X100” is now displayed. Pressing and releasing the
CHANGE button will toggle between “Gallons X100” and “Liters
X1000”. Choosing gallons sets the controller to English units, and
choosing liters sets it to metric units. Pressing and releasing the
SET button will advance programming to the next step.
6. If “Gallons” was chosen, “12” is now displayed. If “Liters” was
chosen, “24” is displayed. Pressing and releasing the CHANGE
button will toggle between “24” and “12”. This controls the selec-
tion of a 12-hour (AM/PM) or 24-hour clock. If 24-hour, 00=mid-
night. Default is “12”.
7. “Set Time” and “12” is now lit. To set the time, press and hold the
CHANGE button to advance the numerical display, and switch
from “PM” to “AM” if appropriate. Note: set the time to the nearest
hour. Pressing and releasing the SET button will save the time dis-
played and advance to the next menu. Pressing and releasing the
SET button will advance programming to the next step. Default is
12 PM.
8. “Set Reg. Time” and “02” is now displayed. To set the regenera-
tion time, press and release the CHANGE button to advance the
numerical display. Pressing and releasing the SET button will save
the “regen. time” displayed and put the unit into operation. Default
is 2 AM.
Programming is now complete.

4 Button Error Descriptions
“E1” Error message:
If “E1” appears on the controller screen along
with an audible beeping sound, the controller cannot find the home
magnet disk position. Make sure the controller is firmly seated on all
four “tabs” of the drive end cap. (See Page 10). Note: if all is in place,
and the motor and magnet disk do not turn, it could indicate an
obstruction in the valve body.
“E2” Error message:
If “E2” appears on the controller screen along
with an audible beeping sound, the motor is disconnected. Plug in
the motor. Wait 30 seconds or unplug/replug the transformer into the
controller to re-set.
“E3” Error message:
Home offset error. Disk didn’t start in proper
home location. Controller will automatically try to reset itself by find-
ing Home and continuing the regeneration.
“E4” Error message:
Magnet stuck at home. Gear teeth aren’t
engaged, gear stripped, something is jammed in the valve. Cycle the
power to reset.
